Which ring model should I go for?
You are ready to buy an engagement ring, but do not know what style to choose? Trust your taste but keep in mind the most important thing: the personality and lifestyle of your girlfriend. After all, she is the one who will be wearing it! If she leaves you clues on the ring she’s always dreamed of it will be easier for you to choose the ring. Pay close attention and take notes! To better differentiate the different ring styles we invite you to read our article Diamond Engagement Rings: Find Your Style!

What are the different precious metals available?
Our engagement rings are available in various precious metals such as platinum or yellow, pink or white gold. A choice of predilection? Our 18Kt white gold is mixed with a palladium alloy, a hypoallergenic metal that retains its whiteness unlike nickel that tarnishes with time. One thing is for sure we will gladly help you find a superior quality engagement ring within your budget.
Which diamond size should I go for?
Once the ring is selected, it is time to make it sparkle with a beautiful diamond. Other than the ever popular round shaped, many different cuts are sought after: cushion, princess, oval, etc. Unleash your originality!
Which criteria of diamond should I favor?
When the time comes to choose a diamond, you need to consider the 4Cs of diamond. Before even considering the color, clarity and carat, the most important criteria to take in consideration is the cut of the diamond. If the cut of a diamond is not good, it will not be as brilliant as another stone cut with the right proportions. A diamond with excellent or very good cut is what you should look for. To better understand the full concept of diamonds, we invite you to visit our page on the 4Cs of diamond.
How long does it take to manufacture a ring?
Once the engagement ring is selected, you should plan a manufacturing / delivery lead-time of about 2 to 3 weeks depending on the time of year. For a personalized creation expect a few more weeks.
Where are the engagement rings manufactured?
St-Onge Jeweller wants to offer superior quality products at competitive prices. That is why all our pieces of jewellery are designed and manufactured in our workshop located in downtown Montreal. That way we can control all the manufacturing process, from drawing to finished product. In addition to superior quality products made entirely in Quebec, St-Onge Jeweller offers certified Canadian diamonds. To learn more, please visit our Certified and ethical Diamond page.
What should I do if I don’t know the finger size of my girlfriend?
That is not a problem! Here are some solutions to help you estimate as accurately as possible her finger size. You can subtly borrow one of her rings and bring it to our workshop. You can also download and print our Finger Size Guide and use one of her ring as a reference. Don’t worry if neither of these options work. We will manufacture the ring in a standard size, which is 6.5 and if the ring does not fit we will gladly do a resize with no extra cost.
What guarantee comes with an engagement ring?
All St-Onge engagement rings are offered with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. In addition to the guarantee you get a cleaning / polishing service for free for the 3 years subsequent to your purchase. This also gives us the opportunity to do an annual inspection of the prongs. Please refer to the Lifetime Guarantee page for more details.
Should I buy wedding rings at the same time as the engagement ring?

Does my ring come in a box?
